Vending business is a very young area of activity of modern entrepreneurship. The installation of vending machines in public areas involves the sale of goods without human intervention. Using such devices, you can easily organize trade in any convenient place not prohibited by law. The relevance of vending in Russia is due to daily income from one device in the amount of 1000-1500 rubles.
According to experts, with the correct organization of trade, the payback period of one point is one year. The established profit for one cup of coffee is equal to 500% of the margin on its cost price.
Business registration procedure
When registering a vending business, it is important to know which category of trade or production your activity falls into. The confusion of the situation is that in Russian legislation there is no such thing as vending trade. Thus, experts recommend that when installing vending machines that sell food, canned drinks, various items, choose the category of "retail trade with other ways of implementation." If you install an apparatus that reproduces coffee, tea or carbonated drinks, then such activity falls under the production.
As a rule, a vending business is conducted in three taxation modes, namely USN, UTII and OCH. It all depends on the affiliation of your machines to the type of activity.
Equipment
The most popular vending machines are those that offer cold and hot drinks. They are least affected by seasonality, as in the summer and in winter they have a great demand among their customers. The second most popular type is vending machines offering chips, chocolates, cookies and other snacks. Other products include toys, souvenirs and other non-food items.
The main feature of the acquisition of vending equipment is to obtain the conclusion of the SES. SES is a paid examination, where the quality of the terms of trade is revealed. Another condition dictated by law is the installation of filters for water purification when the apparatus is connected to a central water supply.
Experts recommend connecting vending machines with refrigeration and strong drinks to water supply systems. Due to this, the cost of water is reduced, and the device is fully loaded.
Choosing a place for the machine
Vending business makes a profit with proper placement of equipment. The seasonality factor plays only 15-20% of the profit margin. One of the best locations for the machine is considered to be territory close to schools, technical schools, universities, as well as in shopping centers, in the corridors of large company premises. Typically, this trend applies to coffee machines.
